Hydrangea Emotion ‘Youmethree’
Botanical
Hydrangea macrophylla
Description
One of the most significant Nursery Stock introductions for years. Emotion originates from a Japanese breeder and rock guitarist, Ryoji Irie who made the crosses in Kyoto during 1994. He crossed double varieties from the wild in Japan with various macrophylla’s and the result was this totally new double Emotion. Emotion has the biggest double flowers in the new YOU&ME HYDRANGEA’S series. The blooms open smoothly from the outside to the inside of each head – lasting beautifully well as the plant matures. Emotion is a very special new plant, not only easy to grow, but also easy to flower. Perfect for growing as a pot specimen in the home, a feature in the border or as a special container on the modern deck or patio. Hardy. 0.8 x 0.8m (Second year)
